With Week to Go, PK.com Bracket Pool on Life Support
So, how's your NCAA bracket looking?

If you're one of the 109 participants in the PaulKatcher.com March Madness Pool, probably as ugly as Josh Boone.

With the pool's three most important games to go, 102 of us (101 + my disaster of an entry) are dead — out of the running to finish in the top three and be rewarded with whatever cheap-ass prizes I bestow.

There are eight different combinations of championship game results, but only three scenarios can affect the winner of the PK.com pool. Here's how the final standings will shape up.

IF LSU BEATS UCLA...
Amy E. (100)Fellow blogger and 'Cuse alum showed more love for the SEC than the Big East, correctly picking LSU and Florida in the Final Four and being the only member of the pool to have the Tigers reach the final game.
Jim Moorman (84) — My ZogSports football teammate has UCLA and his alma mater, Florida, in the Final Four. But can't pick up any more points on that Duke-over-UConn championship-game prediction.
Bob Oefinger (81) — Bob had UCLA and Florida headed to Minneapolis but, like Jim, is stuck with Duke over UConn.

IF UCLA BEATS LSU AND LOSES IN THE TITLE GAME...
Matt Geiger (96)The Matt Geiger? Enquiring minds want to know. Whether or not the man stands 7-1 and has ever guarded a sweaty Patrick Ewing, he was on fire Saturday, with LSU and UCLA clinching Final Four berths, and UConn and Villanova stull alive. Alas, the Big East crumbled Sunday.
Amy E. (84) — If the Tigers lose, her current score of 84 will have to stand.
Tim Woodward (84) — Can you believe a guy who picked North Carolina to win it all is alive for a third-place finish? He had the Tar Heels beating the Bruins.

IF UCLA WINS THE WHOLE FUCKING THING...
Dustin Morehead (112) — One of two people to have the Bruins go all the way, Dustin hopes to ride UCLA through next Monday. If that plays out — and since he's probably never heard this joke — we'll all take to the streets and chant "More head!"
John Grady (103) — Currently in 66th place!!!, John had no less than three of his Elite Eight (Iowa, Michigan State, Kansas) get blown up in the first round. But look what happens when you're one of only two people to predict a champ.
Matt Geiger (96) — Matt will go from UCLA's biggest supporter to its biggest hater in a matter of two days. Unless he went there, in which case I'm sure this pool won't mean jack shit to him.

AND IN LAST PLACE...
Yep, that's locked up as well. No matter how much you sucked, you can't finish worse than Doug Remmey, who will score 23 out of a possible 192 points. Three of his Final Four (Syracuse over Michigan State in the final, plus Oklahoma) were upset in the first round by double-digit seeds.

Seriously, man, that could be the worst bracket I've even seen. But I'm laughing with you.

If I win, here is what I want for my prize: I will photoshop a Red Sox hat on your picture and you have to display it here for a whole day. hahahahahhahah

I must admit I only picked FL over Villanova because I wasn't sure Allen Ray would have eyesite. Though, Billy Donovan went to Providence, so he has Big East credibility.

Go LSU - Big Baby will not be denied. But wouldn't it be great if George Mason pulled it off??

I'll root for LSU for ya, but there's no way in hell I'm fulfilling that first-prize wish.

Next Sunday night, I'll have a big Yankees season-preview blowout. You won't wanna miss it!
